Local Pittsburgh Skater killed by Police

[Get the strap]

Damn this is really sad. Video actually shows the shooting. 17 year old Antwon Rose, unarmed, killed by police, shot in the back running from a parked vehicle. The officer who shot him had been sworn into East Pittsburgh police only a few hours before the shooting. RIP

[Madam, I'm Adam]

Atrocious and unjustifiable.

[weaselhead]

fucking disgusting

[shark tits]

hopefully it's gonna start getting better w/ all the videos and shit but dreary for now. most people have to be affected by seeing these cop killings, right? once the cops start being held accountable this shit will die fast, i keep hoping we're on the cusp of it.
RIP

rip .. that’s disgusting .. these dirty police officers need to go to jail and stop being protected .. the good cops out there should be the ones that stand up for the victims and stop allowing these pieces of shit to wear the badge

[Pappy Jones]

So if I'm getting the story straight:

- Shots fired call made to the police
- 22 year-old man found on street with bullet wounds to the abdomen.
- 22 year-old alleges that man in car was the aggressor, fired nine .40 caliber rounds from car initially.
- 22 year-old returns fire (both are armed), hits car with multiple rounds.
- Police see car that matches description moments later, with bullet holes in rear window
- Police stop car. Antwon Rose is a passenger in said car, along with a second passenger. Antwon Rose and 2nd passenger both attempt to flee. Driver stays in car.
- Antwon Rose runs away, police shoot him multiple (I'm hearing 3) times. Antwon Rose dies. 2nd passenger gets away
- Police search car. Police find 2 firearms in car. No weapons are found on Antwon Rose's person
- Driver of the car is 20 years-old. Is questioned, no wounds. Driver of car is released. 2nd passenger still at large.

Someone please fill me in on anything I'm missing. I'd assume the next thing they do is run ballistics and see if the two guns found match the .40 caliber rounds that hit 22 year-old. I saw someone post that you would be ill-advised to run from the police, especially if you're riding in a vehicle with bullet holes and weapons present, fair point. Regardless, the officer in question sounds like he reacted out of fear and impulse rather than accessing a situation, which is something that he should have been drilled through in his training. If they do find he shot Antwon unjustly, he should most definitely be charged with murder. Fucking awful thing to happen. Law enforcement should be held to higher standards, or at the very least show some fucking competence

None of that matters you twat. You trying to victim blame here all low key? Fuck you.  A child was murdered by an agent of the state.  Shot in the back.

Either way the police can't be doin that.

But its deeper as you all know.

All ima say for now is if were gonna solve these deeper issues the level headed public are gonna have to have honest discussions that are racist, but people just cant speak honestly about that stuff. I can't see it getting solved until that happens. Cause people start flipping out.

Sad hippo my man, you were saying good riddance to x cause he assaulted woman, hopefully your not picking and choosing but actually changed your thought process. Police should be held to higher standards, but they're still people, they ain't emotionless robots.

People need to gather themselves and step back. Everyone catches feelings so easily in these scenarios. I don't wanna argue with no one.

Yeah a cop's first reaction to someone running away shouldn't be to shoot them in the back. Multiple times. There's nothing justifiable about this.

No, you fucking moron. I'm trying to figure out the timeline for the events. You know what you're doing, you're reading something that you don't take the time to actually think through, and what you're reading is making you emotional. You're making a snap judgement, an alarming amount of them actually, without actually taking inventory of all the facts presented to you (sound familiar at all?). You pick one sentence out of that entire post and that's the point you scrutinize? You're acting outraged because you think you're entitled. Fuck me? None of that matters? Finding context in a scenario doesn't matter? No one said a teenager deserved to get shot in the back. If you actually took a second to read what I wrote, you'd notice I criticized the cop for reacting the way he did in the first place. I think he's a murderer. Will they feel the same way in a court of law? There are a lot of intangibles to that question and if you look at past trends you'll find that these cases usually don't result in the way they should. You know how you right that? You gather facts and make an actual argument. You don't break out the pitch forks and scream all pigs must die.

Yes, we have established this. In fact, I established this. Read the latter half of my post, I said literally the same thing.

damn our future looks dark! the video a perfect reflection of this day and age where everything s turned upside down

aside from him being a skater it s baffling to see how we ve come to these times again that our grandparents told us of- where a life was worth nothing for our rulers. and we let them move on cause as in the past it happens for the general public to see.

when authority has no value of life and can kill without serious consequences it is and has always been a bad sign

rip
